Super CIA sleuth Mitch Rapp stars magnificently in this book. Vince Flynn writes fantastic books that move fast and keep your mind active without bogging down. Rapp works for the head of the CIA, Irene Kennedy, as well as being at the President of the United States beck and call constantly. He is a super master at what he does and there are few like him. Other nations throughout the world know and respect him for his ability to fight for them or against them if that becomes necessary.
Protect and Defend is taken right out of today's headlines as Iran has built a nuclear weapon facility and hid it from the rest of the world. But the unmanned spy facilities have discovered the facility and the free world knows what they must do. However before action can be taken from outside Iran, an Israeli has implanted himself as a trusted employee in that facility as a custodian of some sorts. He has had the opportunity to see this plant inside from top to bottom and also been able to make his plans on how to destroy the entire plant from within. He successfully carried out the destruction and afterwards saved his life and those that he was concerned with in the facility. Those in charge were in an elevator shaft at the time of the explosions so they also survived. The entire nuclear facility imploded down on itself.
The leaders of Iran's government had to place blame on someone other than themselves so the Israelis and Americans were made the scapegoats to the outside world. Those with knowledge of the destruction in Iran had proof it wasn't destroyed from outside. There were no missile or aircraft in the vicinity as proved by radar but the Iranians pressed on with their claims.
Mitch Rapp went into action with members of the CIA combined with military to meet with the Iranian leadership to find out exactly what had occurred and proving the fact that the destruction was from within, not from anyone outside. The Iranian's did all they could to make the world believe, especially their own people, that they were attacked. When the CIA Director, Irene Kennedy was captured, after a meeting in Iran, nothing was sacred in the search for her. Mitch Rapp and his team searched high and low to find her before she was killed or badly injured.
There is no shortage of action in this terrific book. You will not be disappointed and will have a hard time leaving the book.
